    I’ve half a mind just to pay to save all of the hassle
    Really?  Please don't.  People who cave in and pay are funding the scam.  The discount is a bribe to scare you, not a bargain.  NOT A SINGLE POSTER HERE WILL TELL YOU TO PAY.

    Thinking that it's not worth the hassle is the opposite of what good people should be doing.  The 'bottom line' of people who pay for a quiet life, is very different from mine. That's why I'm actively changing the law, which will help motorists like you, I hope.

    Government announcement due this month; I'm on the Steering Group that help-de to create the new statutory rules.  This has taken over 3 years of unpaid hard work already.

    Good change is happening, Why would anyone pay a scam ex-clamper right now?


    Thank you. So I just sit tight now and wait for the threatening letters? Genuinely have no idea what to do in all honesty. But I’ll take your advice and not pay 👌 
    Appeal now to POPLA using the template appeal points (suitably tweaked to your situation) from the NEWBIES FAQ Announcement, third post.  When some PPCs receive the extensive detail of a forum-assisted POPLA appeal to deal with, they often give up. 

    But, even if they go the full mile, and you lose at POPLA, there is no requirement on you to pay them. It will need a judge to instruct you to pay.
    Amazing. Thank you so much

    Just do what the NEWBIES thread tells everyone to do. There's an entire post about how to win at POPLA.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
